How Assessment Works

When you start an assessment, your child answers 10 questions. The quiz adapts in real-time: correct answers increase difficulty, while incorrect ones decrease it. After 10 questions, we calculate a precise grade-level equivalent for each subject. This level drives worksheet generation — ensuring every worksheet is the right challenge for your child.

Understanding Levels

Skill levels are displayed as grade equivalents. Here's how to read them:

0

Kindergarten

1.0

Grade 1

2.5

Mid-Grade 2

3.8

Advanced Grade 3

Sub-topic scores range from 0 to 1. A score of 0.8+ means strong mastery; below 0.5 means the topic needs more practice.
